Message: [QUOTE="LetMeIn, post: 1088560, member: 3019"] First off, congratulations. Lot of good advice in this thread. While it is true that you will not be getting the same sleep you get now, I don't think that was the biggest adjustment for me. What I had the hardest time adjusting to was how drastically my daily schedule changed and how things that used to be accomplished at a leisurely pace suddenly became a manic rush because they were being fit into a much smaller window. What used to be "I'm going to clean the basement at some point this weekend." Suddenly became, "I need to clean the basement, and the only time I have is between 11 and 1 on Sunday while my child naps". I think that this sudden pressure to get things done exacerbates the the exhaustion of the first few months. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to get everything done. You will find it is amazing what you can let slide for a few hours/ days. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
